“I always feel super uncomfortable when it's like ah, there probably has to be a sex scene. I feel really bad and then always look around to see if anyone is watching me while I'm writing. I want to apologize to people who have to read those sex scenes, but I feel like it's part of the characters life, it's important.” PeopleIfsWantFeelsWritingLooksImportantCharacterSexSceneUncomfortableApologizing Author:Joe Meno
“The more I write, the more I've come to realize that books have a different place in our society than other media. Books are different from television or film because they ask you to finish the project. You have to be actively engaged to read a book. It's more like a blueprint. What it really is, is an opportunity... A book is a place where you're forced to use your imagination. I find it disappointing that you're not being asked to imagine more.” WritingBookDifferentUseFilmAsksOpportunityRealizingImaginationImagineMediaTelevisionProjectsEngagedOur SocietyDifferent PlaceDisappointingBlueprints Author:Joe Meno
“Funny as hell, searingly honest, and urgently real, Sam Pink's Rontel puts to shame most modern fiction. His writing perfectly captures the bizarre parade that is Chicago, with all its gloriously odd and wonderful people. This book possesses both the nerve of Nelson Algren and the existential comedy of Albert Camus.” PeopleWritingBookRealFictionHellComedyWonderfulModernHonestShameOddNervesCaptureChicagoExistentialBizarreParadesNelsonFunny As Hell Author:Joe Meno
